Is Kojima going woke?

I don't think Kojima cares.
He has always had LGBT characters in his games and also has included fan service to the point of poorly trying to explain it. The man is horny and he doesn't care. Period.

He also wants to make money so I wouldn't be surprised if he is looking for help to avoid shit like Quiet's poor fanservice expalanation.

If his next game's MC is a neurodivergent trans person it's not because he is trying to fit or comply with any agenda, it's because he wants to have a neurodivergent trans person in his game. Simple as that.

As gamers we should respect creative intent. If we don't like what comes out of his mind we shouldn't buy the games. That's it.

The job position is for a translator role. They are to support the efforts of making Kojima production games available globaly.
Are you guys seriously freaking out over "woke" because of the term globalization?
What am I missing?
 
Kojima's always gonna put tits and ass in his games.

But he does enjoy the Hollywood fart sniffing, and there's only one way to be accepted by Hollyweird.

It would be helpful to have a universally valid definition of "woke." Some people already use it if the lead is a woman or non white. Others think it's only woke if a black woman with one side of her head shaved is effortlessly beating up groups of men while shouting to her female asian lover "Kick their/them/theys' asses!".
You've forgotten black elves.

Woke is more of a feeling or abstraction than an actual thing. A game having a woman lead does not make it woke, a game having a female lead and the devs saying stuff like "having a woman do x... Would be tone deaf... Modern values ... " Then you know it's woke

I found out what bisexuality was from MGS 2 lol
 
He's walking the video game version of the path Howard Stern walked.

The Death Stranding games are goofy as hell anyway. He could slip DEI dialogue in there all day long… he's got a 90% chance of unintentionally convoluting it so hard nobody would get it anyway.
